2011 Kia Optima Teaser Sketches

2011 Kia Optima

That’s a Kia? Really?

Due for a formal unveiling at the New York Auto Show, Kia has released a few design sketches for their 2011 Optima. The Optima is Kia’s flagship sedan, and there are significant changes expected for the new model, including a longer wheelbase, wider track and lower stance.

Love it or hate it, it’s no longer vanilla.

I hope the new Optima looks this good in the flesh, but “sneak previews” in the auto industry usually turn out to be misleading. Like a plastic surgery gone horribly wrong, let’s hope we don’t get any nasty surprises when the sheet is lifted in New York.
